According to the article, in order to get this respectable lead for Trump, Quinnipiac assumes a historical drop in both evangelical and very conservative voter turnout. These are 2 blocks which unsurprisingly are for Cruz.
What do they base this on? Why, for the first time in decades, would a huge number of evangelicals and very conservative voters decide to sit out the caucus?
____________________
They are not assuming a drop in evangelical and very conservative voter participation. They are assuming a surge in voters outside those group. That surge would dilute the effect of the evangelicals and very conservative.
The assumption is merely that. We shall see.
Why are you watching Faux? OANN is much better.
When do they actually have results?
“Only $25 . If I was homeless, maybe. Boost it up to $50 and I’ll think about it.”
For me, they’d have to throw in earplugs, too. :-)
I think he knew that, but Cruz had other problems that Trump exposed.
I always worry that these people hurt each other so much that the democrats will have a cakewalk to victory.
Dish network-—they don’t carry OAN. I called and complained to no avail.
Is that real? Yebbie pays to get people to sit?!
Glen Beck is one reason I would have a hard time with Cruz. Beck is nuts.
Thank you, that clears that up.
Maybe a guesstimate of 11:00 PM Central? That will allow an hour for fun and games. I expect there will be some.
Exit polls and spin probably beginning around 7:40 Central.
Just guesstimating based on general reporting in the past.
The faster the reports the more confidence I will have in their accuracy.
Sheer hatred, their teeth hurt from the gritting and grinding.
Their vote will amount to nothing, but to show how stalwart and non bending they are in their perceived self righteousness, they utter those words to show the reader how much they still can make a difference and are a force (vote) to be reckoned with.
But I think they let you sleep through it all, and they might have punch and cookies too.
It’s real.
If all the establishment candidates except Rubio dropped out, that would be bad news, since the combined total of Rubio, Jeb, Christie, Kasich, and Fiorina in national polls would put the establishment ahead of Cruz and right behind Trump. Luckily the Bush political machine is too powerful and well-connected/funded for the RNC to force him out, so with any luck he and Rubio will stick it out until the end fighting over one another's votes.
I doubt Kasich, Christie, or Fiorina will still be there after super-Tuesday, however. There's also the question of where Carson's remaining 7-8% will go if/when he drops out.
Some places will have results published within an hour. By 11 pm Central, most results will be in. Should things be close, keep in mind that official results won’t be concluded a for a few days.
A Roku is about $100 that is how I get OANN. They report not twist the news.
I'm thinking Sarah Palin endorsement. Plus Rand Paul and Rubio slamming Cruz over his truthfulness in the debate. Paul in particular since Paul is known to be an honest person.
